Natural Slate Effect Porcelain Paving
Pavestone Ardesia Rustic is designed to capture the natural beauty and character of slate stone. The Rustic colour combines warm rusty hues with natural-looking tonal variation, giving patios and landscaped areas depth and character while retaining the practical advantages of porcelain.
The variation across the paving tiles is an intentional part of the Ardesia appearance, helping create a more authentic natural stone effect rather than a completely uniform manufactured surface.
Large Format 900x600mm Porcelain Paving
The 900x600mm format creates a clean and spacious appearance across patios and outdoor entertaining areas. At 20mm thick, the slabs are designed for external paving applications, while the rectified edges provide accurate dimensions for neat and consistent joint lines.
Durable Outdoor Porcelain Paving
Ardesia porcelain paving is frost resistant and has water absorption of less than 0.01%, making it suitable for year-round outdoor use through changing UK weather conditions. The textured surface also provides greater than R11 slip resistance for practical use on patios, pathways and other pedestrian areas.
Low-Maintenance Natural Stone Look
Ardesia combines the appearance of natural slate with the practical benefits of porcelain. Its very low water absorption makes the surface easy to clean and maintain, while Pavestone states that the porcelain is resistant to frost, colour fading and common acid and alkali chemicals such as lawn treatments and fertilisers.
The porcelain surface also makes it more difficult for moss and algae to become established compared with more porous natural stone, helping the paving retain its appearance with relatively little ongoing maintenance.

Installation Advice
Porcelain paving should be installed on a suitable prepared base using a full wet mortar bed. Apply an appropriate porcelain paving primer or bonding slurry to the underside of each slab immediately before laying to help achieve a secure bond.
Use a flexible jointing grout suitable for external porcelain paving and follow the manufacturer's installation guidance. Porcelain paving is manufactured in batches, so colour, pattern and texture variation can occur. Mix paving from different packs during installation to help create a balanced overall appearance and retain the batch information if additional paving may be required later.
